6 Beauty Products We're Coveting For September

A brilliant new Canadian skincare line, an effective dry shampoo and a musky new scent are among the beauty products we have placed on our top shelf this month. (This article originally appeared in the September 2018 issue of ELLE Canada.)

Clé de Peau Beauté Firming Serum Supreme

Wrinkles aren’t a telltale sign of aging—it’s skin laxity that will give you away. Try the tightening Clé de Peau Beauté Firming Serum Supreme ($390), which contains hydroxyproline, an amino acid found in collagen.

Hermès Eau de Citron Noir Eau de Cologne Spray

While we don’t believe in gendered fragrance, the smoky dried lime in Hermès Eau de Citron Noir Eau de Cologne Spray ($201 for 200 mL) will appeal to those who prefer to wear traditionally masculine scents

Charlotte Tilbury Collagen Lip Bath in Refresh Rose

Leave it to Charlotte Tilbury to make mustard-sprout extract sound appealing. “It’s fantastic for actively plumping the lips,” she says of the ingredient, which is found, along with rose and peppermint extracts, in her Collagen Lip Bath in Refresh Rose ($40). “It feels really fresh—like you’ve brushed your teeth.”

Shu Uemura Volume Maker Invisible Texturizing Powder

Let the power of being able to strategically add volume go to your head (literally) with Shu Uemura Volume Maker Invisible Texturizing Powder ($50).

Use your fingertips to apply this blush to the centre of your cheeks—but keep it at least a finger’s width away from your nose or you’ll end up looking sickly rather than youthful. Marcelle Cream Blush in Sparkling Coral ($12.95).
